My new tool box arrived today. This evening I had planned to button up the transmission then purge the coolant system. That plan was blown out of the water by the weather (which ended up missing us). We were forecasted for 2in hail, 60mph+ winds, etc. Thankfully the storm system decided to track...

Sharp looking M38A1! Those HMMWV seats are pretty comfy compared to the stock hmmwv seats. I have been considering that mod to my M38a1.

amazing!!!

Today I mixed coolant (just a hair over 50% coolant) and filled the M38A1s cooling system. I did not run the motor to purge the air pockets because the motor oil is still drained. Once I re-fill the motor oil I will run the motor for a bit and let the air pockets purge/t-stat open/etc. and top...

I installed the 78in rack in my kitchen. I live in an old farm house which means that storage is very limited. Ill snap a picture if I remember...but no promises. The 3 72in racks I installed in my shop/garage room. Until now I have had to just keep stuff in the floor. It made everything...

Yea but that is part of life I guess hahaha thanks. It looks super sharp all setup. I am uploading pictures as I type this.

Last night I ordered 4 new wheel cylinders from eBay. They should be here in a few days. the extra money I usually put toward my savings account went elsewhere this time. I decided to splurge on myself and bought some more toys for my shop room. Pics will be posted when they arrive. 1X of...

Back from the weekend. It was nice to see my younger brother before he ships out to Korea w/the US Army. I got my brake drums back from the shop. They were turned and look super pretty now!!! No more of that nasty lip that had been worn in the drums from years of use. I need to order some...

today I knocked out a few things on the Jeep. I re-filled the transfer case, installed new rad hose, and diagnosed my generator shake. X-fer Case: There isn't enough room under the jeep to tip a gear oil bottle so I had to engineer my own solution. I found some old fuel line I had in the...

Well my rear diff was leaking after the re-fill. I half-way expected it. When my gasket arrived, the sender had written on the package "DO NOT BEND" in several places around the package. The mailman choose to disregard all warnings and folded the gasket/package to fit in my mailbox ARGH!!!! USPS...

that is true on the t90 fluid. The designers probably had an engineering degree...I do not hahaha. I will heed your wisdom and err on the side of caution. I will stick to the 1qt of fluid. I am not worried about braking performance and fully understand old car vs new tech (not expecting it...

awesome! Thanks for saying thanks. I really love sharing projects on forums...especially if it helps someone else along the way. I have learned so much off forums, I try and give back every chance I can.

Question for all for the T90 experts out there. On my old Ford F350 w/ZF5 trans, you could pull the shifter and add another qt of fluid through the top of the trans. This extra qt really helped quiet the fly-wheel noise (if you had a single mass flywheel) along with several other pros. Will...

I drained the transmission earlier and had a nice frosty chocolate milkshake...ugh! Good thing I got all that crap out of there. Filled the front and rear diffs. Pulled the top of the transmission so I can add fluid and also inspect the innards (Yes I realize there is a fill plug on the...

So far today I drained the rear diff and x-fer case. I have the motor oil draining now. I already replaced the motor oil from the original oil that came w/the Jeep. This oil I added seafoam to thin out the oil in an attempt to deal w/a sticky valve. This is that oil. After all the oil drains I...

thanks for the tip. I enjoy driving my jeep but I REALLY enjoy stopping my Jeep hahaha. Just to clarify...just order 4 front 1in wheel cylinders, right? I will check out the DOT5 (I am still quite a ways from adding fluid but I will keep it in the back of my mind. I won't EVER turn down free...

I noticed the sun setting and realized I only had so much daylight remaining. I ran outside and drained the front diff. The fluid was pretty gross but I did not see any water contamination which was good news. Also all of my gear teeth look to be in super good shape. I had a little trouble...

thanks for the deuce/jeep tip. That will definitely come in handy!!! I was on the fence about replacing the steel lines. I have the kit saved on my ebay watch list I just have not pulled the trigger...yet. The kit is fairly cheap at $70-ish bucks. For that price I guess I might as well. You...

Just pulled the last drum. the impact screwdriver performed flawlessly and made short work of the rusted drum screws (previously attempts at this project had failed due me trying to use a normal screw driver on these screws. Even after soaking in PB blaster) the rear two drums came off...

still going strong on the Jeep. I have flushed my cooling system on and off for about two weeks. The fluid is FINALLY coming out clear-ish vs the green/brown gunk I was seeing at first. today I put the Jeep up on jack stands and started tearing in to the brake system. I am having a bear of a...
